Get hype! Starting this Friday, it's wall-to-wall fighting games. Need to know which stream to watch which game? We have you covered.
NewsThis weekend is the overwhelmingly-massive fighting game tournament extravaganza, Evo 2015. The Evolution Championship Series will be heading our way from Las Vegas and it’ll be bigger than ever. There’s going to be about 2,000 players from all around the world vying for the #1 spots in nine different fighting games*.
*Ignore this if you’re one of those people who insists that Smash Bros. doesn’t count as a fighting game.
This year, the games in question are Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mortal Kombat X, Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN, Killer Instinct, Tekken 7, Super Smash Bros. Wii U, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Throughout the three days, we’ll see them whittle down the brackets through pools, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finally the finals (or Top 8, as the kids like to call it).
We’ll be covering the show here at Den of Geek and will have all the streams set up for you to watch to your heart’s content.
Therein lies the problem, though.
When it comes to the schedule, last year, we were able to just smack an image up here, wash our hands of it, and go back to sleep. This time, the whole weekend is so gigantic that we can’t fit the schedule graphic here that way. Last year there were two main streams and an extra Capcom-based stream. Three is manageable. This year, there are going to be eight separate streams!

You can get a gigantic chart here at the official Evo site. Otherwise, here’s the breakdown game-by-game. Because it’s in Vegas, it’s listed as PDT. So if you’re in the Eastern time zone, just add three hours like normal.
Like I said, there are eight streams total: SRKEVO1-7 and CAPCOMFIGHTERS. When it comes to seeing the finals of any given game, it will always be on the main stage at SRKEVO1.

Gavin Jasper understands, but feels it’s so wrong to ban Ryu from the Wii U Smash tournament. An Evo where you’re not allowed to use Ryu. It’s just not natural. Follow Gavin on Twitter!
